This paper explores how to rank social allocations when individuals have other-regarding preferences (ORPs). Unlike the few existing studies on this issue, we focus on two different private goods, only one of which generates ORPs concerns. Specifically, individuals exhibit other-regarding views about the social health state but have standard self-centered preferences over other goods, namely consumption. Our social evaluation also incorporates a fairness view that aims to reduce inequalities that originate from factors for which individuals should not be deemed responsible. By resorting to a non-resourcist approach, we derive social preferences that seek to reduce individual well-being inequalities. Such differences are assessed by means of an interpersonal comparable measure that is related to an ideal situation which involves neither externalities nor unfair inequalities. We obtain that the use of the state of perfect health as the reference value leads society to give a higher priority to those who exhibit more altruistic preferences.

健康和公平以及其他方面的偏好

本文探讨了当个人具有其他偏好时（ORP）如何对社会分配进行排名。与有关该问题的少数现有研究不同，我们专注于两种不同的私人物品，其中只有一种会引起ORP问题。具体而言，个人对社会健康状况表现出其他看法，但相对于其他商品（即消费）具有标准的以自我为中心的偏好。我们的社会评估还纳入了一种公平观点，旨在减少因个人不应该被视为负责任的因素而引起的不平等。通过求助于非资源学家通过这种方法，我们获得了旨在减少个人福祉不平等现象的社会偏好。此类差异是通过人际可比性评估的，该度量与不涉及外部性或不公平不平等现象的理想情况有关。我们发现，使用完美健康状态作为参考值会使社会对那些表现出更多利他主义偏好的人给予更高的优先权。
